This is in no way a "I'm good at this game so let me teach you how to play" thread. I'm not that great, and yes my k/d is barely above average...who cares? I dont. Thats not the point. These are just observations on why this game mode (Skirmish) is the most unappealing to myself, and possibly many others (i know a buddy of mine hates it too). The instructions on how to play are very vague and barely noticeable when selecting to play, i think a lot of people just think "oh 3 vs 3, lets go kill people". But they forget strategy. Heres a couple notes everyone should pay attention to: 1. [b]Stick Together[/b]- this is absolutely vital. I notice that once the team starts getting seperated, shit hits the fan. I dont understand why people think they can be a white knight running out into battle 3 vs 1. You're not going to win (unless you have a super, then go for it, but be careful). 2. [b]Reviving Teammates[/b]- so if a team mate dies, and the enemy is around a corner or at a distance or you have proper cover, then [i][u]please[/u][/i] revive ASAP. This goes along with #1, you cant take the enemy on by yourself. If someone goes down, now it's 2 vs 3, obviously your chances of success have now been lowered. Also i might add, [u]Don't [/u] try to revive when theres several enemies looking at you, choose wisely when to revive! 3. [b]Shooting Reviving Enemies[/b]- shoot the reviv[b]er[/b] not the one being revived. When the enemy is being revived, the one rising from the dead will be imune to damage for a short time. The reviver doesnt have the same advantage and is often easier to kill. Yes they still gain the shield, but they dont have the immunity (correct me if im wrong). 4. [b]Matchmaking[/b]- this one is strictly opinionative, and honestly i feel it's something Bungie should look at, not really anything we, the players, can do about it...Now, we've all tried Skirmish solo, and often we get paired with 2 randoms against a full fireteam. Regardless of their level, they now have an advantage due to communication and team work. They can shout to eachother "hey he's over there" or "hey i need reviving". Without proper communication, the team with 3 randoms are usually struggling (this is not always the case, of course there are times where the other fireteam is full of idiots). Of course Bungie has mentioned they will fix voice communication in matchmaking, but i also think a good fix would be to only match fireteams of 3 with other full fireteams of 3. I do not think this advantage applies with teams of 2, but so often im just absolutely murdered by these teams. It would be nice if there were some of these kind of tips on the loading screen, it would be a nice informative way to pass through transitions (yes i know spaceships are pretty, but people need to learn). Just opinions guardians. Do you agree? What parts dont you agree? I just want the game mode to be more enjoyable, and i think most people dont get it... [spoiler]PS.
